Každá organizace se liší velikostí, strukturou, cíli a charakterem. Například zavedená výrobní firma se odlišuje od nově vzniklé softwarové společnosti, stejně jako státní univerzita nebo městská nemocnice. Myšlenka definice charakteru organizace vychází z analogie s lidmi: zatímco lidé jsou biologická stvoření s životním cyklem, organizace jsou sociální útvary, které mohou existovat i stovky let. Kritické použití této analogie nám pomáhá pochopit chování organizací a zvyšovat jejich efektivnost.
Organizační charakter lze objektivně určit a seskupit do šestnácti základních typů, které odpovídají osobnostním typům vyvinutým Katharine Cook Briggs a Isabel Briggs Myers na základě práce Carla Junga. Tento systém zahrnuje Index charakteru organizace (OCI), který umožňuje identifikaci charakteru konkrétní organizace, podobně jako MBTI pro jednotlivce. Kniha obsahuje příklady efektivního využití organizačního charakteru v praxi a je určena pro profesionály, kteří pracují s organizacemi a hledají nástroje pro zvyšování výkonnosti, efektivní týmovou spolupráci, řízení kariéry a harmonické vztahy mezi pracovníky.
“Stop looking for the right job,” career counselors advise. Instead, think of yourself as the head of a small business called 'You & Co.,' viewing employers as potential customers. But how do you make this shift? William Bridges, who coined the term “You & Co.,” offers a practical guide to navigating the modern employment landscape in his latest work. He builds on concepts from his previous bestsellers, helping workers move beyond outdated job notions and adopt a business leader's mindset for a more fulfilling and secure career.
The book features self-assessment tests to help you identify your Desires, Abilities, Temperament, and Assets—collectively known as “D.A.T.A.” This insight not only highlights what you enjoy but also reveals your unique advantages in the job market.

Bridges emphasizes that true security lies not in job attachment but in doing what you excel at for employers who need your skills. This approach allows you to enhance your value to your current employer, create a new job for yourself, start a small business, or forge your own path. Embracing the Creating You & Co. mindset is essential for thriving in the evolving job market.
